The injured deputy, Senior Deputy James Flynt remains in critical condition at this time.
Flynt is a 5-year veteran of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office who served several years prior at the Calvert County Detention Center as a Correctional Deputy.
Deputy T. Bowen and Deputy A. Aranda have been placed on administrative leave per agency policy.
The investigation is ongoing.
The officers need more range time
The criminals need to not shoot at cops!
Kudos to the back up officers now on administrative leave. We are grateful to them. Prayers for our Officer Flynt.
Prayers for the Deputy and his family, both blood and blue. Prosecutors should not plea bargain. Judge’s need to ensure a fair trial. When/if the accused is found guilty, the sentence should reflect their commitment to protect the law-abiding citizens.
The question I have is that, according to other reports, Turner was sentenced to a six year prison term in June 2021 so why was he out on the street?
More police blood on a PG County judge!!!
I agree
Because Maryland
Because this is a liberal state.
But it’s slowly changing. Calvert has been a red state for a few years, now.
